Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier when he became the first Black athlete to play Major League Baseball after joining the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. Robinson didn’t have it easy, often getting bottles and insults hurled his way. Despite the challenges of racism he faced, he became Rookie of the Year, and in his second season, League MVP. The impact Robinson made on Major League Baseball is one that will be forever remembered. He opened the door for many others and will forever be honored for his contribution to the sport of baseball.
